KD in CA Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Chris Rock came out last year & slammed many established Hollywood stars from Jude Law to Russell Crowe... not exactly what "Hollyweird" wanted to hear... but he was very funny and did not bomb. 619463[/snapback] Chris Rock didn't bomb?? Not according to the reaction he got from the stuffy crowd that you seem so determined to defend this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assclowns like Michael Moore, Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Redgrave, and Jon Stewart have no business being there. Fug politics & political humor, not entertaining at all.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Frankly I think the crowd was too stupid to GET the jokes Stewart was making at their expense. It was like "I didn't understand it, but I think it's supposed to be funny, so I'll chuckle a bit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I never really watched the Daily Show much, but last night, JS was hilarious. Watching those morons sit there in uncomfortable silence is what made it great. He jokes about their "religion" and not one person laughed. I doubt he'll be invited back, and not because he "bombed". I would personally love to see him again instead of some Hollywood poster child like Chris Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholic Guilt Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Rico - Did you watch the Oscars? I thought Stewart was funny as hell. Chris Rock - not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add disgusting and unfunnny antics by world class whore and bore, Courtney Love and you got a couple of pigs roasting on that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The only time I can stand anybody from Hollywood is when they are pretending to be someone else in a movie. That is exactly why I do not watch the Oscars. Make a joke about their "religion" of choice, and nothing, but if you zing Jesus or the Pope they would pee themselves laughing. And just for the record I'm damn tired of having this gay cowboy crap pushed down our throats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Jomn Stewart was funny as hell, and as has been stated ad nauseum, Hollywood is a bunch of stiffs who cannot laugh at themselves. I was on the couch laughing my ass off and thinking "the celebs are probably too stupid to understand half of his jokes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The best line Stewart had was "Martin Sorcese zero oscars. Three 6 Mafia one." Say what you what about them, they at least brought some life. Those actors and movie people are a bunch of stiffs who really take themselves way too serious. Stewart did a good job from the parts I saw. Boring overall, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjeff215 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 An admitted and unashamed progressive himself, Stewart later made fun of the film industry's perceived liberalness, telling viewers the Oscars are a chance to "see all your favorite stars without having to donate any money to the Democratic party." Our favorite stars barely chuckled... I apologize beforehand for hijacking and I should probably take this to a PPP forum as this stuff never goes over well, but when the hell did "democrat" become "progressive?" I'm not talking about the beliefs, just the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly believe the majority in each of these groups are not progressive at all. I don't know what "Progressive" (capital "P") is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Oscars: Second-Lowest Ratings Since '87Sunday's Academy Awards with Jon Stewart drew an average audience of 38.8 million viewers, according to figures from Nielsen Media Research. That's down 8% compared with last year's show hosted by Chris Rock, and the second-lowest tally since 1987. (The lowest was 2003's ceremony, hosted by Steve Martin, that was marred by the start of the Iraq war; an average of 33 million viewers tuned in then). In the key adults aged 18-49 demographic, the Oscars did a 13.9 rating, also down 8% compared with last year. ABC estimates that 76.6 million viewers saw at least part of the three-and-half-hour telecast. TED JOHNSON, Variety: ... (O)nscreen Stewart felt out of his element. (The show) had its moments, but his delivery was slow, as if every joke was a bit overthought. His exclamations -- "There you go, now you're talking!" -- were awkward, as if he was trying too hard to force some excitement on the ceremony ...

As for political humor not being entertaining, that's your opinion, you're entitled to it, and it's not much more. Lots of people disagree, and reasonably so.

Find yourself a nice pair of chaps, my friend. They're in style this year. BTW, serious question, how do you feel about violence in movies? Any problem with it?
